Congress leader Madhu Bangarappa, who can be vice chairman of the manifesto committee, has defended the party’s promise of banning organisations together with Bajrang Dal and PFI, that ‘violate the basic principles of constitution.’
In a press convention in Shivamogga on Friday, Madhu Bangarappa mentioned he would stand by each phrase of the manifesto and it could not have an effect on the party’s prospects in any means. “I am also a devotee of Anjaneya. I started my campaign only after offering my prayers to Anjaneya. The Lord Anjaneya will curse the people who misused his name. And, we will be blessed by Anjaneya”, he mentioned.
He maintained that the manifesto committee intentionally talked about the names of organisations to make the party’s intention clear. “The BJP people always try to play on people’s emotions. However, this time it will not work. People will vote us for the promises we have made in the manifesto”, he mentioned.
